MS Teams Integration

Microsoft Teams Integration

InsightFinder follows a holistic view of incident prediction and management. This needs InsightFinder to enable teams to start or continue a conversation for an incident from the InsightFinder app itself, or to receive notifications of incidents or alerts. To make it easy, InsightFinder has integrated MS Teams into the UI for IT teams to start conversations. This documentation is a walk through of how to configure MS Teams in InsightFinder.

Note: If you would only like to configure Teams notifications using webhooks and do not want to use any other Teams-related features, you do not need to follow any of the steps below. Webhooks can be configured under the “Webhook” tab of the Microsoft Teams external service settings. If you would like to use the incident investigation Teams integration feature, or you want to receive notifications using delegated permissions instead of webhooks, please follow the steps below.

    (See Figure 4)
  6. The client secret will be generated and Value is the client secret that you need to use into IF MS Teams integration.
    (See Figure 5)
  7. Click on the link to the right of “Redirect URIs” and add the following additional redirect URL: https://app.insightfinder.com/api/v1/teams-oauth
    (See Figure 6)
